They are really hard to find. A guy named Greg Penn over at Corvette Forum has them on a black C4 that really looks sharp.

They definitely make it look and most likely sound meaner! If anyone does find who sells this let us know.

RE: Sidepipes on a C4
 

This place sells them, maybe kinda pricey.

There used to be a company called Laurence (SP!!!???) that sells those pipes. That's what might be in the first pic.

Thanks Guys. I'm gonna look into these. I'm sure they are pricey from reading the description. Don't look to hard to build something similar though. A little tooling work and some chambered or glass-pack exhaust. Hemmmmm....Y'all think there's a good market?

I don't think there is much marlket for C4 side pipes. So many people know they are almost nonexistent anymore. I personally never like them myself.

RE: Sidepipes on a C4
 

I never knew they existed till last week. But that doesn't mean anything. LOL.....I really think that area on a C4 body could use something. It just rolls under so far it looks like something is missing..........oh well just a thought. Cheers

RE: Sidepipes on a C4
 

I too thought about side pipes but not just for aesthetic reasons.
I park my vette in the garage and go out even an hour later and the interior is still 120 degrees from exhaust and eng. tranny heat .
Air conditioner has a hard time keeping up with all that heat underneath and glass on top.
The glass of course is the kicker because AC kicks arse at night or even on hwy where air flow aids in blowing heat away from car body.
I'm thinking the pipes don't look bad and might have another benefit or two like the heat and getting the noise out from under the body.
What say YE !
I've only seen fakes advertised.
I sure like to drive in the summer but stop and go in and out without running long enough or fast enough is just about impossible in central Texas.

I would like a link please because I have looked in the past and cannot find them at Corvette Central.

Hey,guys.Those sidepipes do look great,but one thing for anyone who gets them.NEVER take your car through a car wash until you make sure the clearance is ok....chances are,they'll make the car a tad low for one.Believe me,I run a car wash and I've had to turn down one already.But they do look good.Sounds good,too.

idk... id hate it if the middle of the car scraped as much as the front air dam does now..
